Im not sure if hearing makes any difference or not because you communicate in the astral relm through thought and intention.

Physical hearing makes absolutely no difference once outside the body. Perception is completely different, that is why so many people have a
difficult time adjusting to the new vibrations, and way of being.

The Amazing Randi, magician and author of numerous works skeptical of paranormal, supernatural, and pseudoscientific claims has for about ten
years offered "a one-million-dollar prize to anyone who can show, under proper observing conditions, evidence of any paranormal, supernatural, or
occult power." His rules were little more than what any reasonable scientist would require. If you are a mental spoon bender, you couldn't use your
own spoons. If you claimed to see auras, you'd have to do so under controlled conditions. If you claimed to be able to do remote viewing, you wouldn't
be given credit for coming close in some vague way. If you were going to demonstrate dowsing powers, you would have to be prepared to be tested under
controlled conditions. If you were going to do psychic surgery or experience the stigmata, you would have to do so with cameras watching your every
move.

And that's just the old rules. Read source for futher information regarding the new rules set in 2007.

But.. I was known for posing challenges here on ATS.. and I posed them in a fair way, I challenged remote viewers and astral projectionists .. anyone
actually, psychic's of any kind were welcome to take my test...

Aside from one individual, the tests were almost completely fail ..

The ultimate conclusion from 3 tests was still nothing more than chance... I'm very willing to repeat the protocol, the protocol was OPEN and
absolutely fail-safe ..

how?

I placed an object in a sealed box... I took photos of it... in the box, out of the box.. and I also provided it's exact GPS coordinates .. I then
placed that information in an encrypted zip file, I released that zip file to everyone on ATS ... I then accepted responses..

Once the zip was in everyone's hands, I could not tamper with it.. all I held was the password... I provided it at the end..

Each time.. the test was a fail, save for one. which was partially a fail..

If you have experienced this by accident, I want to hear your first hand stories...

I was 14 when I had my first and only OBE, and is was by accident. I had recently learned about lucid dreaming, after telling my mom about a dream I
had, and how I was in control of the dream. She told me it was called a lucid dream. So, every night when I would go to sleep, I would think about
what I wanted to dream of next.

So one night, I fall asleep, and at some point I end up in the hall. I am walking, but I can't feel my legs, or anything, but I can see clearly. I
look at the pictures. I move to the living room. It is when I move into the living room that I realize I am not walking at all, but just moving. I
would say I was floating, but I had no sense of touch, smell or sound. So upon this realization, I started to move into the air and through the
ceiling of the house.

I started to move through the air into the back yard. I stopped to take it in and look into my neighbors yard for anything out of the ordinary. I
tried to manifest light into what I though was a dream, and no light manifested. I turned to the right, about 50 feet in the air, and tried to
manifest anything...a tree, a person...but nothing manifested.

I ask myself, "Is this a nightmare?" There was nothing in the dream but what appeared to be my backyard at night, and the alley leading down a row
of houses into the dark neighborhood, street lights and all. This is when I realized, "I'm not dreaming. What am I doing up here?" Then I got
scared and started racing higher into the sky at a fast rate. This really scared me. At that point, I had feeling for the first time in the
experience, like being pulled from the middle of my chest (no pain), then a short feeling of falling. I woke up with a start, like I had fallen into
my body. I walked out into the living room, looked at the pictures in the hall as I made my way. I looked out into the dark night and looked at the
street lights. I didn't know what happened to me.

Later, I found out about OBEs and tried to replicate the experience. I have yet to be successful, but the one thing that is key, that I am still
working out, is learning to dream lucidly on a regular basis, learn how to stay fearless during the onset of vibration and sleep paralysis, and have a
positive intention to travel outside of my body.

For me the hardest part is getting past the fear factor. Sometimes the vibration and humming can feel quite jarring. One of these nights I hope to let
go and go for a trip.

First thing you need to know there are different triggers for everyone. I will explain how I discovered mine. I am kind of an insomniac to begin
with about 5 hours a sleep a day different times of the day. I noticed during moments of extreme tiredness It would happen and I would wake up
soaking wet. Ok now when I started to try to figure out how I was doing it I was lost until I started reading books on auras and chakras. Then I
figured out how I was doing it. I would lay on my back and become relaxed attention to my feet back and my hands with my eyes closed, I would clasp
my hands on my chest because I could concentrate that energy towards my heart chakra. It takes three modes of mental thought to trigger it for me
they are imaginary color, sound, and smell. I start with the sound Aum and keep it in my mind without trying to stop it, which your mind tends to do
because you pereceive it as a breath. Then whatever color I feel comfortable with, last the smell of flowers, trees, ocean etc. Then it just happens.
I really do not think drugs effect this I was in the hospital drugged up and somehow was sitting in the audience watching Chaz Bonno dance on dancing
with the stars and the television was off. I also had times when I went places and time was not existant meaning past present and future were
intertwined somehow. Also these can be prophetic, I witnessed two things I won't talk about that effected everyone. Have fun with it because this
is something everyone is capable of doing, the hard part is trying to find your switch. And please take notes after, it can possibly save lives.

I would like to join this experiment if I may. I think this could actually work.

OK then please give this a try!

really close to it but i didn't know what was happening. I woke up one morning half awake and didn't get up and then felt extreme energy and
vibrations. I let this take over my body but nothing happened. Anyone have any tips on doing a successful Astral Projection??

Ok here you go. Pretend you're in kindegarten and I'm your teacher. I'm going to put some music on for us too...

OK CLass, we're going to do an imagination exercise. First everyone decide where you're going to go and draw your space ship. If you're not sure
maybe you've seen a star trek episode or a science fiction story like Avitar... Or you could keep it simple like a trip to the dark side of the
moon...

Imagine kids drawing Rockets...

OK Class its time to go... put your pencils down and close your eyes. Picture yourselves in your space ship and buckle your seatbelts. Check all the
gages and get ready!

Its nearly time to blast off. I'm mission control in Huston and will be counting down soon.... 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1...

BLAST OFF!

Feel that farce (punnin cuas I'm havin fun too) as you go right through the sky... scuse me wile I kiss that sky...

look there's the moon! Is that where you're going? Or is it another planet? Time to check your course, make sure you're on the right path...

OK time to sleep because time dialates and we'd get really old if we didn't...

OK time to wake up but remember we're imagining so keep your eyes closed johnny...

Look there it is! Isn't it amaaaazing!

Is the ship working properly? Make sure its aiming right to slow us down.

OK lets take a walk around here. We can gather 5 little rocks each and take a couple pictures, plant our flag, and then we've got to go...

OK its time to go... Buckle up... 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1.. blast off!

Wasn't that strange how much different gravity was here.

Ok time to go to sleep for the journey again...

Ok time to wake up were' almost home (keep those eyse closed jane).

Ok its time for entry. Make sure the seat belt is tight and the shields are up.

alright now its time for the parashoot... SPLASHDOWN!

And here's the Navy to pick us up. Its DEBRIEFING TIME!

Everyone open your eyes now. Lets all draw pictures of where we went to and then we'll share them....

Ok who wants to tell us about where they went and what they saw?

Ok with that out of the way... I think I'm partly "at odds" with all the "letting go" of the common teaching. Not that it's "all wrong",...
but rather that it lacks a certain insight. That is that the imagination of a "little child" is of a biblical importance.

The complicated aspect is that when you conciously direct the psychic dreaming you effect it... sort of like expectation effects scientific
"observation"... but the PARADOX is that without that interest... WHY [explitive] bother?

Drugs lowere the success rate. In order for the best results one must be completely sober and relaxed. Any sedatives affect your energy output. Also
ANY doubt or hesitation.
Might I suggest to you binaural brain stimulation? Through audio frequencies you can achieve altered states of mind. Try looking up "hemisync" or
brainwave entrainment.

The most effective drug I know for getting an experience is TOBACCO! Smoke'em peace pipe! But honestly it makes me sick... so much that the best
thing I can do is go lay down... and then what? Just an "ordinary" dream state of 1/2 sleep. What else is similar? Being a FAT PIG... and by that
I mean that I have food issues where sometimes I gorge myself, and eat foods that I shouldn't late at night. Whenever I do the stomach aches keep me
up. I've had a few injuries do the same... So why mention that?

Well 1/2 sleep is the "essence of it" on soooo many levels. Consider that old and dying people often seem so "profound"... while people like
me... "written off" as just another dreamer, or much more derogatory terms.

There is an "art" to dreaming, and 1/2 way to sleeping seems an essence of it. Crazier drugs only seem to pollute the dreamyness with noise - or
worse the door open to deamons - so don't. Camel non-filters are the best. But after getting a clue about dreaming, the only reason to buy a pack
is to keep them "safe and legal"... and since its been over a month or so... I'm gonna buy a pack tomorrow.

Whenever I do (about 1/2 dozen times/year) I end up thinking why did I dooo that... yuck... and give them away to an opportunity to tell some adicted
tobacco freek about appreciating tobacco for its God given value. APPRECIATE rather than chase a "filtered buzz" that only costs you $$$.

From that thread's OP:

OOBE "Realtruth" Exclusive Story

Maybe I should talk to a priest, I thought……….nope, I wasn’t even going to go there. I was drawn to a little off the wall book store, in my
area that I thought might have something I could use. The bookstore was a combination psychic shop and metaphysical bookstore, at that point I had
never even read a single book on metaphysics, or stepped foot into a shop like this. So I spent about 1 hour flipping through books but I found
nothing.

A lady near me was sitting in a chair reading a book, she had been there a while and I was getting a warm feeling from her, she looked over and said
hello how are you? I replied, Good!, not so well, she said is there something I can help you with? I own the store and maybe I can direct you to what
you need. I said well you

Well that's about it... OBE. A state of a dream... so is life 'bout a dream' or a dream about life? Either way, what's life without dreams?

Last night, at around 12:00 central time, I was reading an interesting article about Lucid Dreaming. I read the article and important things about
lucid dreaming, so I decided to try it that night. this is where it gets scary for me.

Being new to lucid dreaming, I was skeptical on whether I should try it or not, because lately I've been having high blood pressure/fast heart rate
(should probably get that checked out, but being the arrogant bastard I am I wont)

So being worried about what might happen to my physical self while lucid dreaming, I decided to try it anyway.
At around 3:10 am Central time, I was sleeping, but conscious if that makes sense. I'm pretty sure i was dreaming, but since i was conscious, i told
my self, " I am dreaming" in my head. Not even a second after i said that, all the hairs on my body stood up, and then this is where it gets scary
for me. while my hairs were stood up, i felt myself floating above my body (after doing research, its called an OBE (out of body experience). This
might not make sense, but while all this was happening, i had a sense of what was going on, almost like i was dreaming but still conscious, like in a
dream-state kind of mind. It seems to me like when my hairs were stood up, what I will call my "spiritual self", was being release through my hairs
and then floating above my body. Being in this Dream-like-state, i knew what was going on and felt my heart racing, So I immediatley woke up for the
fear of something going wrong.

I'm a 15 year old teenager, and have never had anything happen to me like that before. I'm scared of going back to try it again, but I'm also
skeptical what would lie ahead if i didn't wake myself up.

I'm not sure i will try anything like this again, only if I'm reassured that i wont have a heart attack or something of the sort. Can anyone shed
some light on this? *(No, i was not on any drugs. This is my firsthand experience and everything I'm telling you actually happend.)
